Have been giving mixed feedings to my 3 month babe due to low supply plus frequent visit to polyclinic or hospitalization for jaundice. Had cut down alot on formula after she turned 1 month (couldn't cut out formula fully cos she'll have signs of dehydration after a couple of days fully breastfeed) and breastfeed more often. Turned to a LC for help but only help in achieving a deeper latch. Tried lots of milk boosters but I seems to be immune to it. I realized the more I breastfeed, the more fatigue I am and I tends to sleep more. Is it normal? Babe also latch longer and use my breasts as human pacifier.

her latching more frequent is basically the whole day. Once unlatch, she'll cry if not I'll fall asleep with her. As a result, I have enough fluid intake but I do not have a chance to have my meals.. The only proper meal I can have is when hubby is back home.. If not I can actually skip all my meals in order to have enough sleep.
